Smells like Teen Spirt by Nirvana

 Firstly, this song is a freaking bop. I feel like Nirvana has a lot of songs that are just as good as this one, but this one just got really popular. Their run was definitely way too short. This song is definitely a classic that everyone has heard though. I think that it really sums up their whole grunge genre really well. I think that the album cover is really funny. A naked baby chasing a dollar bill. There is definitely a lot of symbolism here too. My favorite part of listening to these older songs is listening to the emotions in these songs and that is usually prorated through the lyrics. That being said, my favorite part of this song is the lyrics. What Nirvana does is have a lot of meaning behind everything, and I am a big fan of that. I think music that means something is just better most of the time. The song is named after a deodorant brand that they thought was just a cool phrase. I think the lyrics here really resonate with people. I think they really do so even today. ...

Thriller by Michael Jackson

 This week we do not have a lot of good choices, so I am going with Thriller. Firstly This song is a bop. I feel like have heard this song thousands of times. This is one of those songs that literally everyone has played for us telling up it is literally the best song. The number don't like that this is a good song. I feel like we as a generation are kinda missing out from this though. Don't get me wrong I like it, but I think that it has already been played so many times that we do not get to appreciate the song as we should have.  This song is a bop though. I really like it and everything Michael Jackson did with this song. I think another good thing that was done was just the storytelling aspect of the song alone. The deep voice that comes in can easily give chills. This song gives super strong Halloween vibes.   I think that one of the reasons that this song did so well was because of the music video too. It does a really good job at catching your attention...

I want to be sedated by the Ramones

 I have liked this song for a long time. I heard it for the first time several years ago and ever since I knew it was true love. I really enjoy the sound the Ramones have. It is very reminiscent of the music in movies in tv shows I grew up with. I think the sound they make falls into a good category where if you just want to jam out loud in your car then can do it easily and have a great time. I can see late at night driving down roads for no particular reason just jamming out with friends and just having a great night. On the other hand, there is a meaning for the song. If you can't connect with people then life's not worth living. They also wrote the song when the manager they had was overworking them and making them tour 360 days a year. During this time you can easily imagine how life would feel monotonous and kinda boring at some point too. I feel like the music video does a good job of conveying this too. There is just so much going on as they sit at the table just eating...

Hotel California the eagles

 Firstly, this song is a freaking bop. This is one of those songs that has passed the test of time and people still listen to it today in spite of it being so long ago. This song is one of the most popular cover songs too. I feel like this is one a lot of people have a good voice for and choose to sing it. People realize how iconic and good this song truly is. I personally really enjoy it. I do think that this song is kinda played too much though. It has just gotten overplayed throughout the many years it has been released, but that does not detract from the song itself though. I think one of the reasons this is so popular is just the universal appeal. The sound isn't super specific to a time period or genre so that allows it to keep appealing to people.  I also think that the sound being slower and kinda gently allows everyone just to chill. The lyrics also play a role. I think that they are chill enough that if people don't want to think about what it really means then they ...
